Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 58
As the special operations team entered the underground facility, the work of Ansel’s cleaning team was put on the agenda.
The so-called underground facility is an air-raid shelter used by the town during the war years. Monsters built their nest on the basis of this air-raid shelter, and the original architectural design of the shelter can still be found.
However, the internal situation of the monster’s nest is unknown. But Ansel was not very worried. The angelic protection he gave to Yun Jian is already invincible in the human world, and the general-level monsters couldn’t threaten the demon hunters who went underground.
Of course, if someone is alone or too far away from Yun Jian, the angelic protection won’t work.
While thinking of this, Ansel casually flattened a believer-level monster with a trash can lid. He had always been very unrestrained in his use of weapons. But this one-by-one shooting is really inefficient. Ansel was looking for a place with densely packed monsters, and soon he found it.
It was a memorial hall, and the signboard of the memorial hall had some exaggerated gold characters written on it——
Memorial Hall of the Warriors.
This kind of memorial hall is just like the niche memorial halls found in many cities. It contains many fake items related to the human warriors. Perhaps it’s because the items are too useless, this place is so deserted, and it’s not even mentioned in the travel brochures. It is somewhat ironic that such a warrior memorial hall will have a high density of monsters, which is precisely why Ansel came here.
But it is not all without merits. Ansel stopped in front of a mural at the entrance of the memorial hall.
In this mural, an angel resides in the clouds on the right, holding a bow and arrow, blowing a trumpet for guidance. Below the angel is a roughly painted castle, and in the castle sits a princess painted in the same rough way. The warrior raised the holy sword, followed by the sage, and the two walked along a rugged path towards the princess in the castle.
Ansel looked at the mural and felt that the painting was incomplete.
Just as the shadow casted by the holy sword on the ground becomes a demonic sword, when the hero follows the guidance of the angel, there will also be demons following behind him. Human beings are standing at the junction of light and darkness, with light on one side and darkness on the other, angels on one side and demons on the other. They can choose to be on either side, or they can just stay put… This is the possibility given to humans.
It is precisely because of the existence of this possibility that many forces in the human world are so intricate and complex, but Ansel was very tolerant of this. This tolerance even surprised him. If he was still in the Supreme Heaven, he would definitely not have such tolerance. On the contrary, after arriving in the demon world and becoming the Demon King, he realized more virtues.
On the mural, the angel’s already blurry face suddenly became distorted. A disguised messenger-level monster saw Ansel staring at the painting for a long time and knew that it had been discovered, so it screamed and crawled out of the painting.
Ansel pulled out the standard short sword issued by the club, raised it with his hand, and cut off the monster’s head. Ansel played a pleasant game of whack-a-mole with the monsters in the memorial hall.
When it was almost noon, Joey, who was still waiting for Ansel to come to eat for a long time, ran over, and brought jam, toast, and drinks for him.
As soon as Ansel took a bite of the toast, he saw Joey opening a box in front of him as if he was offering a treasure. In the box lay a horrific corpse of a believer-level monster.
Ansel: “…”
He was holding the toast in his hand. Although he didn’t lose his appetite, he still choked for a moment.
“This…” His expression was a bit indescribable, but he soon realized something and looked up at Joey.
“Did you kill it yourself?”
“That’s right! As expected of you, Ansel! You guessed it right away!” Joey’s face was full of excitement, “It’s for…”
“I don’t want it.” Ansel interrupted at the speed of light.
“Woo…”
Joey came not only to deliver food, but also to offer treasures. This morning, he used his physique to restrain and kill a demon, obtaining the first drop of blood in his career, and immediately brought it to celebrate with Ansel.
Ansel: “…”
Having joined the club for ten years and just finished his first kill…how many club benefits did Joey get for free?
“What’s that look in your eyes?” Joey looked aggrieved. “I was also stimulated by you and just started working hard… With this start, I will be able to do my job as a demon hunter well in the future.”
Ansel examined the monster corpse. It looked like it was cut by a sharp weapon, and the cross section was very flat…
He listened as Joey excitedly spoke.
“I killed it head-on!”
“…”
Ansel was stunned for a moment, then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Joey’s head.
It turns out to be so sharp.
So if the warrior wants to use Joey, he has to grab the feet, right? Grabbing the head might cut your hands.
Ansel was lost in thought about how to use the holy sword.
Before he could finish a piece of toast, Ansel suddenly heard someone calling him outside the memorial hall. After a while, Joey also heard it and looked at Ansel in confusion. Ansel stuffed the toast into his mouth in two or three bites and hurried out of the memorial hall, facing an anxious fourth-class demon hunter.
“Ansel, something happened! It seems that someone from the Secret Council has also entered the town and is confronting the weapon master and the others!”
Ansel heard it, and then blinked in confusion.
“Then, why are you looking for me? I’m just a weak and pitiful sixth-class star.”
It’s normal to look for other third-class stars for such conflicts between organizations!
The demon hunter was also stunned for a moment before he reacted.
“Yes, that’s right…”
But why did he subconsciously think that Ansel, a sixth-class star, could solve the problem?
Time waits for no one, the demon hunter gritted his teeth and pulled Ansel, wanting to run away.
“I can’t handle that much! I’ll take you there first, and you can see if you can solve it!”
Ansel was really confused. The behavior of this demon hunter was like a chick dragging its mother to support the field, which was really difficult for him to understand.
However, the situation is already like this, and he isn’t like Joey, whose head is very sharp and can cut things apart in one go. He still has to find a way to solve it.
His Majesty the Demon King’s thoughts were spinning and he quickly gave the optimal solution.
“Don’t rush over there, let’s call more people first.”
…..
On the other side–
After about a few minutes, the confrontation became increasingly tense. In the absence of the second-class stars, the Weapon Master, as a veteran third-class star, stood at the forefront of all the demon hunters, looking at these guys from the Secret Council with a cold expression.
“I’ll repeat it again, people from the Secret Council, get out of this town!”
The weapon master frowned fiercely, but unfortunately, the Secret Council interfered when the high-level demon hunters were not around. He knows that the Secret Council believes in demons, completely opposite of the Demon Hunter Club. Normally, if you don’t meet them, you can still stay on the same page on the surface, but not now. These bastards from the Secret Council actually intend to recruit demons here!
These people must be driven out of this place as soon as possible. If the underground demon nest is discovered by the Secret Council, the consequences will be disastrous.
The leader of the Secret Council group is a proud young man, who is said to be the chief alchemist of the Secret Council. Everyone respects this young man very much. The alchemist was wearing a hood, only showing an arrogant chin, completely ignoring the anger of the weapon master.
“It’s just a third-class star…” He said coldly, “Are you even worthy of talking to me?”
“You……!”
Fran, the chief alchemist of the Secret Council, walked slowly. He was actually not that impatient to interfere in this kind of thing. He just remembered that adult and thought that he might receive a reward for his hard work. So Fran chose to leave his beloved laboratory.
Although this area is surrounded by demon hunters, it’s not a problem. The presence of second-class demon hunters will not affect the powerful demons coveted by the Secret Council, not to mention that the second-class demon hunters seem to be absent now.
“The Secret Council will only take away the high-level demons, which will just reduce your workload. You don’t need to be grateful to us.” Fran looked at his nails and then at the old and angry third-class star in front of him, and nodded lightly.
“Let’s go.”
***
Fortunately, it is noon now, and tourists are gathering in the dining area. Most of the streets here are still under repair, and there are only a few people around. As soon as he left the crowded area, Ansel jumped directly onto the roof. With his use of the Two Light Wheel Magic [Lightness], it was almost comparable to the Fourth Light Wheel Magic [Wind Movement].
Joey couldn’t keep up with him and was out of breath, which was the result of Ansel’s overwhelming speed.
While running, Ansel changed into the demon hunter’s uniform. His uniform hasn’t been made yet, and Joey’s coat is a bit too big for him, but he can’t worry about that now.
“An, Anse…Ansel ….slow…slow down…”
Joey was so exhausted from running that he almost dreamed of going back to college to take the 800-metre test.
“We can’t be slow, we have to hurry up, otherwise everyone will be gone.” Ansel finally finished putting on the uniform, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of figures jumping on the roof in the distance. Obviously, the demon hunter who went to call people moved very quickly, and everyone gradually began to gather.
“But.. but isn’t the weapon master still there…he is a third-class…he should be…”
“No, that old arrogant guy can only turn into a pufferfish when he’s angry. How can he possibly handle those people from the Secret Council?”
“…”
Well, this is true!
Ansel crossed the last eaves and heard a “let’s go” sound coming from below. He conveniently borrowed a crossbow from the demon hunter next to him. The use of this weapon is different from that of a bow and arrow, but the weapon itself is versatile.
The crossbow and arrow were full of strength, and Fran, wearing a hood and cloak, could only feel a sharp gust of wind hitting his face. The magical protective items on his body were instantly activated! The person who shot the arrow seemed to have already anticipated that he will have protective items, and a magic shot from the arrow body cancels out the protection. As a result, the force of the entire arrow remained unchanged, and the open barb pierced through the cloak, causing Fran to stumble a step.
【Rotation】 magic was activated, and the arrow turned back in the air, causing Fran to almost flip around in the air. Finally, he pounced down on the ground like a frog and ate a mouthful of dirt.
Fran: “…”
Everyone present: “…”
The fall was extremely loud and embarrassing, and even if there was no actual damage, it still made Fran tremble with anger. When he raised his head angrily, the tip of the crossbow pressed against his eyeball.
Missed…
Just a little bit.
Fran was so startled that he subconsciously closed his eyes. The arrow cut through his eyelids, and his vision instantly turned blood red.
He only heard a slow voice coming from above his head.
“The Demon Hunter Club is handling serious business here.”
“Unnecessary individuals should retreat immediately.”
The arrow was still pressed against his eye, and Fran didn’t even dare to breathe, let alone refute.
Then, he heard a neat landing sound, and there were probably more than ten people in the audience. The only ones present in this scene were the demon hunters, and their manpower already exceeded his own!
It seemed that in order to let him respond, after making a threatening gesture, the tip of the arrow slowly moved away from his eyes. Fran looked up hastily, only to see a person with pure white and flawless long hair. His sunset-colored pupils against the light looked a bit dark. The demon hunter’s uniform jacket was draped on his body in a wild and unrestrained manner, with an astonishing aura.
This is by no means an unknown person! Fran’s gaze immediately shifted downwards, looking at the opponent’s chest, wanting to determine the star level.
—Blank.
The author has something to say:
Ansel: Wearing uniform, without a badge, cool… Guess what class of star I am?
Generally speaking, those without star symbols are the strongest (definitely)
